This animal is good for pointing out many coins that may be missed in smaller magazines and at trade shows. However, it is a catalog, about the size of a phone book, and with so few advertisers that they are negligible.
There are no fancy color pictures just coins and lots of them are divided into countries; so many coins that it can make your head spin if you are not searching for a particular theme. The shallow part of the book is the depth of time.
This version contains the Euro and it may not be ancient coins or Notgeld but the designs are innovative and affordable. Collect them now while they are at face value. In the years to come, they will be of value and sentimental value to your offspring.
I know the book is a tad expensive but it is worth adding to the collection or catalogs on earlier eras.
